X (Twitter) API alternative for AI agents
Scrollport gives AI agents 14 tools to get X (Twitter) posts and profiles, from X, TikHub and Apify, through one connection. Prices are per request or result, depending on the tool, paid per use from one prepaid wallet with no subscription, provider accounts or API keys. Agents use them over MCP, the CLI or the HTTP API.

- One Scrollport key and one prepaid wallet for every tool.
- Pay per call, at the price shown before each run.

Questions about X API
Is the X API free?
X sets the access terms and any charges for its own official API. Through Scrollport you do not need an X developer account: these tools are priced per request or result, depending on the tool, paid from a prepaid wallet, and connecting your first agent adds $1 of trial credit.
How do I get Twitter data without an API key?
Connect your agent to Scrollport once. It can then call the Twitter tools on this page through Scrollport, which holds the provider access, so you never create or handle a Twitter or provider API key.
What is the best X API for an AI agent?
It depends on what you need back and how much you will run it. Public Profile (X, $0.0025/request): Retrieve one public X profile by username with identity, account status and public metrics. Search X (Twitter) posts by keyword (TikHub, $0.0025/request): Twitter: fetch search timeline (web). Tweet Scraper (Apify, $0.0025/result): Collect public X posts by handle, query or URL with author and engagement metadata. Your agent can inspect the closest match and see its exact price before it runs.
Learn more about X post research
Use public X posts to find current customer language, technical debate, campaign response and competitor narratives around a defined market question.
Search the problem in audience language
Describe the customer, market or technical question and include product names, alternatives, symptoms and exclusions. Ask the agent to discover relevant authors and conversations rather than limiting the sample to accounts you already follow.
Preserve the conversation
Keep post links, dates and thread relationships. Ask for recurring claims, objections, questions and credible disagreement, with quoted or reposted material distinguished from the author's own position.
How should I use X engagement in research?
Use visible interaction to prioritise conversations for review, not to estimate representative sentiment or purchase intent. Account reach, timing, controversy and distribution all affect the counts.
Example prompt
This prompt uses X as source-linked qualitative research.
